I’ve release v6.7.0 of MKVToolNix. It contains tons of bug fixes all over the place, but also a couple of enhancements. The most important bug fix is probably the change to how MPLS files are handled (see below).

This is the first release for which I’m providing 64bit binaries for Windows as well. They offer the same functionality as the 32bit binaries. Versions can be distinguished in their version number output as well as mmg’s »about« dialog.

Please note that the Windows installer and portable archive do not contain the word »Unicode« anymore. That’s not because they don’t support Unicode; they do. It’s just that the last release without Unicode support was v2.something quite a lot of years ago, and there’s simply no reason to point out the Unicode-awareness anymore.

There’s one change for package maintainers: Ruby 1.9.x is now required for building. I don’t support 1.8.x anymore. This should not be a problem for current distributions anyway.

mmg: enhancement: The »additional parts« dialog will now show the files that make up an MPLS playlist. This is for informational purposes only and doesn’t allow changing the playlist itself.

mkvmerge: bug fix: Reading from an MPLS playlist file is now done as if the second and following files referenced in that playlist had been appended to the first file from that playlist. Before they were treated as if they were additional parts. Fixes #934.

mmg: enhancement: a couple of fixes to tooltips: 1. Content correction for »splitting by chapters«; 2. no ugly re-formatting with wxWidgets 3.0.0 on Windows.

mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed the mapping of the Opus element »seek pre-roll« and »pre-skip« to the Matroska elements »track seek pre-roll« and »codec delay«. Remuxing Matroska files without Opus created with earlier versions of MKVToolNix is enough to fix such a file.
